Revolvo

Mixed media – monoprint collage, acrylic, pastel on mount board

64cm x 89cm

‘I enjoyed the playful clash of painterly and reprographic languages in Revolvo, a clash which reinforces the emotional disturbance of the scene, even as it tempers the unfolding terror, thereby giving the image a mythological quality.’

‘New Light Art have taken a bold step in their inaugural Summer Exhibition of the North; one hopes this will over time become established like the RA Summer Exhibition and RSA Annual Exhibition, albeit more democratic! Coming back to art after decades away, I was utterly delighted to be selected for a bursary, especially to be validated by such an esteemed artist as Christopher Cook. It’s a truism to say that creating art tends to be largely solitary, is often therapeutic and can give us a buzz – well I am now buzzing! This has given impetus to strive to improve my practice’.

Born in Darlington, my mother an art teacher my father an architect, with a love of creating art since I can remember in primary school, I won the local Lyons Art Competition 3 times as a child and the art prize at secondary school, so it was always my destiny to….become a GP. I’ve been at the same Practice in Sheffield for 25 years which, alongside family life curtailed any creativity until around 7 years ago when my mother was showing our then teenage children how to make monoprints and that rekindled that suppressed creative urge. I enjoy figure and portrait life sessions episodically and predominantly work in figuration with pastel but enjoying mixing it up.
